I would just like to know the views of all the members on the impact of Obama's victory on Engagement from organizations' point of view as well as from individual point of view.

- Hi, Vijay--
Yes, but "popularity" was all it was. He's never really done anything in
public life, he's just a brilliant personality who's being run by the
Clinton machine. He knows how to campagn, and he's bright and'
thinks on his feet. So far, however, now that he has to produce substance,
it's evident that charm (and a puppyish love for the socioeconomic whimsy
that Europe is feverishly trying to find a way to discard) are all he's
got. I fear for our country.

- Hi, Vijay--
Thanks for sending the "friend" request.
As a priest, I define "engagement" (from a secular/phenomenological
point of view) as a sense of shared purpose and mission.
In order to be effective and lasting, it is necessary that this "shared"
part be real. It is not enough that I simply manipulate "buy-in" to my
pre-packaged notion. This sort of "pretend ownership" only breeds
cynicism in the long run, and is counterproductive.
I can present my vision, but I also need to listen to the feedback from
the people who will have to live with it. Also, they need to feel free to
say things to me that they know I won't like to hear, and they have to not
just "feel like" but know that their views will be considered. That means I
have to actually consider them, and be willing to acknowledge when they
are bettter than mine.
Since you asked, I think this is where Mr. Obama falls short. He came
to office with a vision of a country he'd like to assemble. This vision is
very different from the way of life we have enjoyed since 1776 in our
very dynamic and successful nation, and it doesn't fit. The consequences
are daily more evident.
Mr. Obama's vision is Euro-liberal, a system which derives from kingdoms
and empires in which the sovereignty of the nation is invested not in the
people but in the government--a government which is free to, and does,
remove freedoms at will and is domianted by a civil service which has replaced
(and therefore become) the franchised aristocracy.
There are lots of different systems at work in the world, and I'm not saying
Mr. Obama's model couldn't work, just that it isn't like ours, and it can;t
work, here.
Mr. Obama is perhaps one of the finest orators in the world. His personal
charm is compelling, and he has structured the illusion of participation into
his administration. What he really did was run a campaign for Class
President on the basis of being the Most Popular Kid. It worked. But
his vision is not an American one, and as this becomes more apparent
the smoke is dissipating and the mirrors are developing cracks. Even
the media, which have heretofore been a wholly-owned subsidiary of his
administration, are becoming sceptical.
In short, it has to be real, it has to be shared, and it has to be really--nor
artificially--shared.
Just my two cents, for what they'e worth.
Blessings,
Fr. Jim <><</body>

geetika said… - Hello Sir,
I am going to conduct a survey on measuring the factors affecting employee engagement.For this i have designed a questionnaire with each question coming under certain heads like communication,enpowerment etc.But if a certain group of employees give a low score on a certain question then it would mean that area needs to be taken care of .For eg.if employees of a deptt. give low score on communication questions then the organisation needs to work on communicating things in that dept .But what should be the broad parameters like gender,deptt,years of service,level in organisation.What combinations amongst these shloud I take?

Thank you for your response and willingness to share some of your experiences. The pharma industry is an industry where the business is given by the frontline field force working in the field going and meeting the doctors who need to be convinced to make an prescription of their brand. Now, the funny part is that in this industry the doctor is not the customer. The patient is the customer, doctor starts the sale process by giving the prescription.
I intend reducing this feeling amongst the field force.

rudra
Although the field force is teamed, however ogn ground they operate alone in a well defined geographical area. This bring in boredom and monotony in them, thereby forcing them to change their job. The lack of regular contact with their leader makes them go haywire.

Jason, Thanks. I agree that feeling in control is big. Also think the mistake with executive communications comes down to " It's not what you say, it's what people hear." The traditional "messaging" often fails on the latter.

Well said, Susan. It all starts with listening, really listening 100% without the distraction of figuring out a response while the other person is talking.
